hermie????

So i may have fucked up a bit. I had someone taking care of my plant while at a festival for a few days and when i got back i noticed possible balls all over the plant but some say its caylxes. Just looking for a second opinion because i already plucked a few of them off and hopefully that was the right move

This happened to me once, due to a little stress on the plant. I cant say for sure if its what u call a hermie, i'll leave that to the experts.

Mine happened under the buds where the calyxes were super swollen, when i took one off and opened it up there was something that looked like a single tiny seed. It looked like the plant had a backup plan just incase the buds didnt work out, but they did and i just took those calyxes off when i trimmed the plant.

I'd definitely say you have a Hermie on your hands. Your decision to keep it or not. Depends on your situation. But I'd also wait for a sharper, keener eye.
 
If its a hermie im just going to do my best to pop off the little balls. My other plant turned out male so this is all i have left and id like to smoke the buds seedless or not!

if you want seedless bud, you have little choice
pluck away, i have done it
that said, it's a chore you will have to do daily for 4+ weeks, maybe more
if you lay on your back and look up through the foliage you will see roosters not see-able when you look down from the top

How bad will the quality suffer if stop pulling em? I dont mind pickin out seeds if the buds arent a bad smoke

Hermie , but you can get some decent smoke from it. Make sure it is not in with other " girls " .

I would continue to DE-NUT your plant as much as possible. You're trying to stop self pollinating. Once pollinated , budding will stop and plant moves to seeding.
Look for NANNERS too. Seek and destroy.

With type of plant , you are trying to get whatever buds are growing to reach maturity with the most trich development it has left to give.
>>>>> Like patching a leaky hose with a 100 holes in it. >>>> :wall:
You may end up with smaller buds because of seeding , but shoot for whatever you can squeeze out of it.

Seeds take up to 6 weeks to ripen ,but more likely not worth keeping anyways.

This is hermie weed .... Hermie condition came from a temp issue. Too hot.
But still got decent smoke , few seeds.

seed does change the bud character
here's what i saw for a hermie that i didn't quite keep up with
i had buds that were seed free, others weren't
the seedless very resinous and potent, and especially much more weight
the seedless was mellower but maybe nicer(?)
but the weight of bud(less seeds) was tiny compared the seedless
